The G533 features a retractable microphone with a pop-filter and an auto-mute feature to "provide the clearest of audio for competitive gaming chat."

Fine-tuning of audio features and levels is possible through Logitech Gaming Software. "You can amplify game sounds to achieve the most accurate positioning," Desai said. Volume levels for each of the seven channels can be adjusted.

Logitech expects its new headset to go on sale worldwide beginning this month with an MSRP of $150 USD.
